The reason that I’m wondering is that I’ve been watching porn for years, and I’ve seen guys (usually well endowed) get off by only having the middle of their shaft stroked, without the ladies having recently touched the head. When my fiancee first gave me a handjob years ago (having only given them to her ex previously) I had to tell her that just stroking the shaft wasn’t going to cut it.
Can you guys get off from shaft stroking alone? Is there anyone else like me?
The penis as a sense organ is not like others. With your eyes, if there is something illuminated before you, then you can see it with eyes, on demand. You can smell something stinky any time your nose is in the vicinity. But the penis’ Meissner’s Corpuscles are only really at attention and at the ready when you’re aroused. And in the case of the shaft I think it’s not so much the specifc sensations, but the mental interpretation of what the sensation means that is so stimulating.
My shaft skin is much like you describe, comparable to other body parts. But I can recall a few specifc occassions when my wife riding me with abandon that I could definitely feel and savor her body lapping at the lower part of shaft. That was before foreskin restoration.
Since I restored I have discovered a whole new world of sensations from the lower shaft. As the slinky skin glides over the shaft if a firm grip is used the core of the shaft gets kneaded in a way I could never enjoy before. There was nothing in this world slippery enough to let me feel that exquisite kneading of the shaft when my skin was taut.
The other thing about the shaft skin is that the nerve endings there respond to bending and straightening during arousal, which is something that doesn’t happen much unless you have enough slack for it to slink around while you’re erect.
